Bactoclav DS 457 Dry Syrup 30ml
AMOXICILLIN / CLAVULANIC ACID (400mg / 57mg) SUSPENSION- DUO
This high strength pediatric antibiotic combines two elements: one is a penicillin-class antibiotic (Amoxicillin) and the other a beta lactamase inhibitor (Clavulanic Acid). This ratio of 7:1 has been developed to tackle moderate to severe bacterial infections in children, especially where bacteria have acquired resistance to standard antibiotics.

How Does This Medicine Work: The Synergistic Attack
Mechanisms of Action
Amoxicillin (400mg): inhibits the formation of the bacteria and kills it.
Clavulanic Acid (57mg): Clavulanic Acid forms an irreversible covalent bond with the enzyme beta-lactamase present on bacteria resistant to amoxicillin. By doing so, Clavulanic Acid stops the enzyme from breaking down amoxicillin.
The No-fuss Guide on Reconstitution
Start with the ‘Pill’: Shake well first to make sure the powder flows freely into the syringe or cap.
Add the ‘Water’: The suspension should be added through the top of the bottle two-thirds of the way up the mark. Close the bottle tightly and ensure the sucrose is off the walls and at the bottom.
Place the ‘Water’ uptil the Top-line: Add the remaining two-thirds water almost up to the ring on the bottle. Shake and shake some more until the suspension is homogeneously opaque.
Leave it for ‘Little Time’: For 5 minutes, keep it standing there and then administer first.
Storage: After dilution, the unchanged suspension must be refrigerated. Add similar texts for substituted ones. It may begin after 7 days of use.
Parent Friendly Information
Feed Me: During meals is the best time for getting the child to take the syrup. Fatty foods enhance the absorption of clavulanic acid hence significantly decrease the risk for stomach upset or diarrhea.
Precisely Longer: Always take the measure with an over-the-counter measuring spoon or medicine cup and avoid using a kitchen spoon, as its size might result in taking a lot or much lesser than the exact quantity.
Finish All the Course: Always complete the course. Do not stop it just because you feel better. This can cause the growth of resistant bacteria, predominantly the causative microorganism in potential later recurrent infection.
Safety Information & Precautions
Allergies: This should not be given to a child with a history of allergy-penicillin, cephalosporin-related. Allergy: “Mono,” i.e., glandular fever, is also an obstacle to giving the product.
Liver/Kidney Health: Please be sure to inform the doctor if the child has ever been detected to have liver/kidney months prior, as appropriate doses may have to be used on the child.
